Cattle at Twilight Near Salt Barrels in Azerbaijan Corral

Steel-blue ambient light washes over a dry season corral in Azerbaijan as range cattle gather near a solar watering line. Three large, rusted salt barrels stand in a row, their metal surfaces dull against the fading day. A dusted rub post leans nearby, coated in the pale grit of the arid ground. Fine dust or steam hangs low above the pens, catching the last traces of daylight. The animals stand close together, their weathered coats absorbing the cool tones of twilight. Dust motes drift slowly across the foreground, settling on the dry earth. The metal edge of the watering trough reflects the dim sky, marking the boundary between the animals and the open pasture.
